Vagina's
Apologies is a vision brought forth by Lithuanian artist and organizer
Shaltmira, known for her complex, dark illustrations and ritualistic
performances. Shaltmira has recently relocated to Berlin, and for this
exhibition she brings together a diverse group of visual and performing
artists with international backgrounds, all of whom are tied together by
their alchemical approach to feminism. The participating artists draw
equal inspiration from the futuristic to the traditional, drawing on
technology, cyberfeminism, and ancient witchcraft to fuse the digital
and the handmade into synergistic works. The exhibition ranges from
visual art, live performance and video projections, framed by the
driving musical stylings of UnReaL and Worshippers.

For both
the curator and the artists, breaking down the walls of gender and the
way it is conceived in language and society is a goal and a tool. They
aim to use humor, charged imagery and the body in its extreme forms to
demolish the labels which continue to haunt even the most progressive
circles. The fluidity of the human spirit trumps all in this
exploration, rather than a single definition of what is, or of the right
approach to these questions. In an era where the norms of gender and
methodologies of feminist art have come to the forefront of the
discussion in many parts of the word, the participating artists bravely
examine these issues through photography, costume, video, illustration
and song.

Notably, most of the artists hail from Eastern Europe
(Russia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Romania), while all are loosely based in
Berlin and Brooklyn, New York. Eastern European folklore is rich with
allusions to witchcraft and sorcery – these are the types of stories
children are commonly raised reading, and idiomatic phrases in the
languages often derive from such tales, making their way into the common
consciousness. Thus, artists steeped in technology in their urban
worlds are drawing on a deep cultural connection to their heritage.
